4.0 out of 5 stars Andre Rieu, September 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: André Rieu - La vie est belle (Life is Beautiful) (Audio CD)

I am a big fan of Andre Rieu but didnot enjoy this as much as several of his earlier recordings. It didn't have quite the zip as "Andre Rieu Live" or "The Holland I Love".

As soon as I saw Ravel's Bolero performed by Andre Rieu on PBS I wanted to have a copy of this beautiful album.. classical music that makes you get up and dance..

I purchased this album strictly because it had his version of Bolero on it. I never understood the fascination people have with this piece of music... until I went to an Andrei Rieu concert. What I learned was that Bolero is all about timing. Most musicians don't get it. Andrei Rieu does. From the very first soft notes in the beginning to the climactic end, the piece is mesmerizing. If this album only had this one piece on it, it would be worth having. However, you'll love the rest of it, too.
